In updating my database for this swap tonight I realized there are a number of parcels that I haven't been informed if they've arrived -- so I checked with USPS using the DCNs.

If you have received a parcel for this swap, check your partner's status on the information post, and if they are still showing green you MUST SEND ME A PM.

At this point in time, the people who are showing on the USPS site as having received their parcels (some over a week ago!!) will receive a "needed to be reminded to communicate" note in their feedback if they PM me within the next 48 hours. Otherwise I will leave feedback that says "did not communicate, poor swapper."

Communication with your organizer is a fundamental part of the swapping system. That I have a list of people that haven't PMed me to say they've received is crap. Especially with the new swap rules -- you're holding back another person who has met their responsibilities to move onto another swap.

I am so sorry that I have been such a poor swapper and I hope everyone will forgive. I am very sorry that I shipped out late (however I did contact everyone as soon as I possibly could). Right after this swap started I ended up working 12 hour shifts, have been sick and have been packing up my apartment. None of this was ever planned and again I am truly sorry that I did not keep in touch more often.

I did receive both packages and they are super fabulous and I adore everything that was sent to me from both princess_me and xladyluckx and will take pictures as soon as I can. (My camera recently died).
